Every advancement I made throughout my career had a connection with PRSA.

I cherish my PRSA membership for the invaluable networking opportunities, professional development and collaborative environment that continually enrich my skills and passion for the field.

Throughout my 15+ years with PRSA, I've learned so much from my peers. I could not have begun to imagine how much I truly enjoy and look forward to connecting with members from all over the country! Thank you PRSA for continuing to broaden my horizons!

I love PRSA. I enjoy meeting our many Chapter members across the country, gaining insights about PR and communication industry trends, and having the opportunity to help shape the profession and PRSA.

Through PRSA, I have met so many wonderful people. They have become my friends, my mentors, my go-to people. I have also had the opportunity to mentor others. The networking opportunities afforded to members are phenomenal. Get involved. You won’t regret it.

Going through the Accreditation process not only made me a better practitioner, but also made me realize that I was capable of doing so much more for my career. It was a challenging process but it has changed the way I think and execute.

APR+M has made me a stronger leader, communicator and positioned me to effectively assist with mentoring the next generation of public relations and public affairs professionals.

My APR gives me the confidence to help me work from a strategic point of view. It reminds me only to make the best ethical choices for my company and its audiences. Because of my APR, I am equipped to practice communications in any industry.

As a PR professional, I believe it is my duty, my purpose, to leave public relations in a better state than I found it. PRSA has allowed me to take on various leadership positions that have helped me become a better professional and lead by example through honest, transparent and ethical practice. Within PRSA, there are ample opportunities for those looking to advance the profession through leadership — it just takes a willing and dedicated person to heed the call.

When I went for my APR, I wasn’t exactly sure what I would get out of it. Going through the exam preparation and learning that I had earned the Accreditation reinforced a sense of pride in, and commitment to, my profession — and to my own growth and development.

Today’s ever-changing communications landscape means that PR pros must evolve their skills to stay sharp and deliver agile solutions. PRSA provides the opportunity to network with professionals who can share their experiences and complimentary resources to help toward this goal. The Professional Interest Sections offer an industry-specific focus that allows members to maximize their membership.
